Solved my problem - the elbow joint or notch (?) under the switch arm was facing down so the throw switch wasn't snug. So when contact was being made it wasn't allowing the arm to return - it would just move without catching the arm.
Thanks anyway - Greg

Turnout Problem

Hello,
I have a small problem w/ my Life Like Snap / EZ Track Switch: I have narrowed it down to the track turnout itself. It will only throw to one direction and not the other. I can manually change it to the other direction and it will throw it back at the press of the switch but not back again. The control switch itself is not the problem (changed it around with 3 other turnouts and works both directions every time) and wiring is not at fault either. Have examined all soldered connections inside the track turnout and everything looks good. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Greg Hopkins
